I think film makers are getting a bit jaded by having to make videos with strict parameters like \u201cdark\u201d or \u201cSanta\u201d, so for the July challenge things will be a bit
di!erent\u2026. You can make any genre of video: documentary, local history, horror, sci-fi, romance, comedy, educational, conspiracy theory, gardening etc \u2026 In fact, any subject in the entire cosmos that appeals to you the film maker\u2026.<\/p>

This challenge sets your imagination free, you can run riot with this challenge… However, just TWO caveats!
If you have already made your video that is fair enough, but otherwise please insert ONE (or more) of these phrases:
1. That is about as useful as a chocolate tea pot.
2. What would your mother say?
3. Ham or Chicken?
4. It\u2019s a hot day.
5. Its not my cup of tea.
6. Capuchino.
7. Fashion Week.
8. Who would know?<\/p>

And insert ONE (or more) of these items:
1. A medics gown.
2. A crown.
3. A dagger.
4. Blood (fake).
5. Umbrella.
6. Carrots.
7. Photograph album.
8. Felt tip pens.<\/p>

Please get in touch by email with me, John Hawthorne<\/a>\u00a0 (ASAP or before by June 15th) just to let me know if you are underway with plans for a submission.<\/p>

Good luck\u2026.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
